One of the assumptions of kineti theory ...

One of the assumptions of kineti theory of gases is that there is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas.
State and explain the evidence that shows that the assumption is not applicable for real gases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The assumption is applicable only to the ideal and not real gases. This is supported by the fact that the gases in general (real gas) can be liquefied under specific conditions of temperature and pressure. This clearly shows that force of attraction are present in the molecules of a real gas.
